  I bought it for 13.98 at the beginning of January 2022. It is smaller in size than what I had as a kid. The box was wrapped in cellophane, just like the contents.

  The product title stated 2,000 built-in games. It actually has 9,999,999!!! Yes, you read that right, 10 million minus 1. However, there are only a few games in practice, and they constantly repeat. I haven't counted exactly how many there are, but I estimate around 40 or so. Maybe even more, I'm not sure. It doesn't have Tetris for those who want it.

  The positives:
  - It has classic games like Super Mario, Contra, Duck Hunt, etc., and many others.
  - It includes all the accessories: console, 2 controllers, 1 gun, cables for connecting to the TV, and a power adapter with a cable to plug into the socket.
  - Very affordable.
  - It can be connected to modern TVs.
  - The remote control is lightweight and doesn't tire your hands.
  - The controllers are small, suitable for children with small hands.

  The negatives:
  - Obviously, the construction is cheap for 10-15 euros (expected).
  - It has fewer different games than advertised (expected).
  - Short cables.
  - The gun, although functional, doesn't hit the targets. It may be due to the TV: Hitachi 65 inches 2019.
  - The cables had a little melted plastic from the packaging's phenolic stuck on them. It's nothing, easily cleaned with a wet wipe, but it makes me wonder if it has been exposed to high temperatures at some point, causing the plastic to melt and potentially leading to faster damage. So far, it's working fine.
  - It doesn't come with an HDMI cable, but an older generation one, as shown in the photo I uploaded.

  On a large TV, the image pixelates quite a bit and loses quality. I believe it would look much better on a 32-inch TV.

  Conclusion:
  You get what you pay for, but personally, I am very satisfied and would buy it again, even if it were slightly more expensive because it reminds me of my childhood, and it's perfect for young ages who find it difficult to play more complex games.

  Now I see that it is temporarily unavailable on Skroutz (maybe I got the last piece?). However, I see that it is available from other stores, 5-10 euros more expensive and with a different title.

  Edit 13/1/22: I connected it to a 32-inch TV, and it was noticeably better. However, because the cables are short, it is still somewhat tiring for extended periods. The gun still didn't work properly. It functions, but it doesn't hit the targets. I suspect it's due to the TV technology.
